When mom has a bad enough day, we all get ice cream before dinner.
I really wanted a strong cocktail but worry about Allison seeing me drink. So ice cream it was.

Even though I don’t drink all the often, most of the time I can enjoy a few cocktails with out feeling any effects the next morning. Not today! After sipping on coconut rum and juice while staying up way too late enjoying all the posting that was going on from the big BlogHer conference and following a few fellow bloggers ride out this years Blogathon, I am not doing so well this morning. I feel like I was kicked in the head. It doesn’t help much that I have been up since 7:45am with our daughter. I would have asked her dad to get up today and handle breakfast but he was out partying all night with about 40 of his ex coworkers, they had a burn your Robot ( the co. he worked for that closed) work shirt party last night that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. Some thing he never does, so he is dead to the world.

Parents of year we are, huh?
We have about two hours to both get our sorry asses together. We promised Allison the three of us would go see Ratatouille this afternoon.

Leave it to me to pick one of the hottest days of the year to make a turkey.
Thank goodness for the AC !!!

I am so happy to be home this week with no real plans.  I really needed some time with out a schedule. I am getting all kinds of things done around the house that have been put off for far too long. I have also been up late every night since Friday getting caught up on my DVR recordings and watching movies.
I do plan on giving myself plenty of time to be a total slacker, to hang out in my PJ’s unshowered for a day or two before returning back to work.

As for today, maybe I’ll take Allison and Roxy to the park this afernoon or maybe Allison and I will catch an afternoon movie? Or maybe we’ll do nothing? It’s too early to say for sure.
Man, I am loving this vacation. I feel so free.

Where the heck did that come from?
I just spent the last two hours working over our bedroom. Sorting, cleaning, and lots and lots of reorganizing.
I now have three bags of trash and two bags of donation I can get rid of. Boy does it feel great!

Surprising though after a late night of drinks and playing Wii with my sister and brother in law.

A good thing about going back to work on a Wednesday is day two we are over the hump and tomorrow is Friday already. Yay!
I could get use to this. Too bad I can’t live on a part time paycheck.

I’ll be leaving the office in about 40 minutes and I wont be back until the 30th.
Yay me !

After a nasty afternoon storm I came home from work Tuesday to no power. Our whole neighborhood was out for just over 24 hours.
I can remember a time when that might have been a fun thing, but now that I am all grown up and have to worry about morning alarms for work, and a fridge full of food going bad, it’s not so much fun. 

After hitting a few potholes, you’re finally on the road to financial recovery, and thank goodness. Staying on the right track should be easy so long as you stick to your budget. Be firm but fair with yourself.

Some times these are right on. See my last post. Freaky.

Friday is this really you?
Oh, how I have missed you. Has it really only been a week since you’ve been here?
It feels much more like a month.

The ham was bought on Saturday and baked on Sunday.
When can I stop eating the leftovers for lunch?
I am thinking today.

You know it’s Humpday when you are pulling out of the drive way late for work and realise that you rubbed Vics Vapor Cream on your hands as you ran out the door instead of hand cream.

Yeah, my day could have started better.
